Thanks to RISC-V International and SOPHGO we got a Milk-V Pioneer Box.

The first thing we are using it for is GCC CI on https://builder.sourceware.org

Looking forward to the GNU Tools Cauldron in Prague September 14-16.

Don't forget that the talk submission deadline is in two weeks on 31 July.

#Sourceware Project Leadership Committee members, FSF tech-team @fsfstatus and our fiscal sponsor @conservancy will also be there.

#Sourceware @ #Fosdem 2024

Various Sourceware projects will give presentations at @fosdem next weekend, Feb 3 and 4, in Brussels.

Guinevere, Dodji, Jose, David and Thomas organized some great devroom talks:

#Sourceware now has a donation page: https://sourceware.org/donate.html :copyleft:

Sourceware thanks @conservancy for their support and urges the community to support Conservancy

#Sourceware has only been a Software Freedom Conservancy member project for just 6 months. But the story started a long time ago and a lot has happened in that time:

https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2023/nov/27/sourceware-thanks-conservancy/

We hope the community will support the Software Freedom Conservancy 2023 Fundraiser and become a Conservancy Sustainer https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer

#Sourceware @ #Fosdem

Various Sourceware projects will be present at @fosdem plus various overseers and of course @conservancy staff.

Get your talk submissions in before end of the week (December 1st) to these developer rooms:

Network connectivity to #Sourceware seems to have been restored.

Please be patient while buildbot workers are reconnecting and starting to process the https://builder.sourceware.org CI build jobs.

On Friday, November 17th 2023 at 13:00 UTC the switches in the Red Hat community cage will see an upgrade and reboot.

This might impact connectivity of #sourceware gcc.gnu.org valgrind.org cygwin.org elfutils.org dwarfstd.org

All 1g ports will be not switching data and will be down from about 13:00 to no later than 13:30 UTC.

@sourceware thanks to #FUTO futo.org for doubling the (micro) grant, originally just for #Valgrind, to maintain and expand the #Sourceware infrastructure for all core toolchain and developer tool projects.

If you also want to donate to Sourceware please see https://sfconservancy.org/donate and become a @conservancy Sustainer or give directly by mentioning Sourceware as comment or on the memo line.

#Sourceware updates. email ARC headers, @osuosl provides a big arm64 server for https://builder.sourceware.org and patchwork updates.

If you enjoyed the GNU Tools Cauldron and like to organize an online virtual mini-BoF followup around some topic or project then the @conservancy BBB server is available for all #Sourceware projects.

Looking forward to the GNU Tools Cauldron in Cambridge at the end of this week.

#Sourceware Project Leadership Committee members @ezannoni
@iank and @mjw will be there. Joined by Bradley Kuhn the Policy Fellow of our fiscal sponsor @conservancy

Happy to discuss any Sourceware, GNU Toolchain Infrastructure issues and our 25 year Roadmap.

https://sourceware.org/sourceware-25-roadmap.html

Because of dkim, strict dmarc policies and an old mailman setup Sourceware mailinglists used From rewriting.

No more! We upgraded mailman, gave up subject prefixes, mail footers, html stripping and reply-to mangling.

The #glibc libc-alpha list is the first to try it out.

We'll evaluate how well this works at our next Open Office hour (this Friday) and whether to recommend it to other #Sourceware projects.

Thanks to the FSF tech-team for walking us through their setup for lists.gnu.org

#Sourceware infrastructure community updates for Q3 2023

- Sourceware 25 Roadmap
- git source code integrity
- inbox.sourceware.org vs HTML email
- Continuous glibc src and manual snapshots
- Conservancy BBB server for Sourceware projects
- Working on individual tech sovereignty together
- Sourceware Overseers Open Office hour

#glibc is the latest #Sourceware project that provides continuous snapshots from current git with both source archives and manuals.

https://snapshots.sourceware.org

This helps to make sure the release process always works and that manuals can be produced in various formats.

Thanks to #OSUOSL https://osuosl.org for hosting the snapshots server.

Sourceware 25 Roadmap

https://sourceware.org/sourceware-25-roadmap.html

Preparing #Sourceware for the next 25 years.

In the last couple of years we have started to diversify our hardware partners, setup new services using containers and isolated VMs, investigated secure supply chain issues, added redundant mirrors, created a non-profit home, collected funds, invested in open communication, open office hours and introduced community oversight by a Sourceware Project Leadership Committee with the help from @conservancy

Uncover interesting test cases with AI/ML and #Bunsen on #Sourceware

https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2023/08/02/uncover-interesting-test-cases-aiml-and-bunsen

The AI/ML engine is already running on our showcase sourceware.org server. The AI/ML predictions are shown on the #DejaGnu panels, highlighting "mismatches"

https://builder.sourceware.org/testruns

Working on individual tech sovereignty together

#Valgrind was picked for a #FUTO https://futo.org Microgrant, which has been donated to #Sourceware through @conservancy for maintaining and expanding the infrastructure for Valgrind and other core toolchain and developer tool projects.

The #gentoo #sparc builders are disabled for now because the worker had become a little too unstable.

https://builder.sourceware.org

We hope to get it back soon because it is doing a lot of builds for #Sourceware projects.

#elfutils, #libabigail, #bzip2, #debugedit, #gccrust, #binutils, #gdb, #gcc, #systemtap, #glibc, #gnupoke.

Open office hour every second Friday of the month in channel overseers on irc.libera.net at 18:00 UTC. Which is today!

Please feel free to drop by with any #Sourceware hosting questions. Help with email (archives, spam), secure supply chain, setting up new buildbot CI, producing snapshots, helping write up some POCs, discussing extending services, what the Software Freedom Sourceware Project Leadership Committee should prioritize, or just to say things are working fine.

HTML email. Most #sourceware projects allow it, if there is at least a text/plain alternative.

But #publicinbox is not so forgiving, it only allows plain-text emails, HTML is rejected by default.

So the https://inbox.sourceware.org archive was incomplete.

We now have a filter that removes redundant HTML parts before storing in public-inbox. And we re-imported missing emails to make the archive complete.

But please don't sent HTML email. It will make DKIM verification of your email impossible.

#Sourceware source code integrity. gitsigur for protecting git repo integrity. With comparisons, developer workflow examples and composition possibilities for gitsigur, b4 and sigstore.

What is your preferred method for source code integrity and tracking the chain of custody for your project?

The #Sourceware reverse DNS issue has been acknowledge by our network/dns provider, but not yet resolved. DNS propagation seems broken, but it does not impact everybody.

If it does impact you then now is a good time to check out our public-inbox server https://inbox.sourceware.org all emails are there and you can access them through the html archive, imap, nntp, atom feeds or git cloning the whole archive.
